Last chance to sign up for the exciting, not to be missed, Autumn Residential
January: A Month Of… Dances!
It was a fantastic event on Sunday at our AGM in Northallerton. Thanks to all of you for joining the event and having a great look at Scheherazade with Mark. Congratulations to Megs Rogers (clarinet) on joining the Trustees; it’s great to have her! Ruth Tanner is retiring from the Trustees, having completed her 9 years. Amazingly she has been the Secretary for those 9 years. That is truly quite an achievement. We all owe a huge thanks to Ruth. Although she will no longer be a Trustee, she will remain as our Librarian, and we need to also thank her for the enormous amount of work she does in making sure groups and events have the music they need. Michael Cave has also resigned from the Trustees, and we’d like to thank him for all the sterling work he has done for The Cobweb Orchestra. He was Chair of the Trustees during Covid and the time we were having to appoint a new Artistic Director, two huge tasks that he handled with great diplomacy and skilful organisation.
As we gear up to a well-earned half term break, we encourage you to have a think about joining us for the rest of our Autumn programme.
Watch out for future news on the ‘Month Of…’ series in January to get in your diaries. The theme is ‘Dances’ – perfect to lift the January blues!
We’re getting excited for the event on Sunday with such a great big orchestra attending for our AGM and Study Day on Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade with Mark. There’s still spaces for you all but if you’re coming along, please let us know as soon as possible. The members who have signed up will receive the papers electronically.

Classical Café with Peter Gulbis
Unfortunately, the event planned for Saturday 12 October has had to be CANCELLED due to an unprecedented low numbers of string players.
To help us shape future programmes, please let us know why you were unable to come to the event on Saturday. Please go to the form here.
Answers can be anonymous, and are welcome from all players, not just strings. We are keen to put on events that are what people want, but we need your help and feedback to do that!

Join Peter Gulbis for a Cobweb performance as part of Middlesbrough Town Hall’s Classical Cafe series.
Cobweb Billingham welcomes players on all instruments to join us for this event!
We have a 2-hour rehearsal, with the performance following on once the audience has assembled. It is a fine opportunity to ‘showcase’ the Cobweb movement!
The 1-hour programme is deliberately audience-friendly and varied, and readily ‘learnable’ by players joining us on the day. ‘Selection from South Pacific’ is centre stage, with movements from Handel, Mozart, Sullivan, Holst and Lloyd-Webber. A trio of carol arrangements (Hobbs/Kirby) start and finish the performance.
